Thus, placed among 's back catalog, the resulting stands out as a significantly different sounding and dance-ready album for late nights and the subsequent early mornings after. The sparse opener, relies on a soft, dreamy landscape with underlying synths, and hints at a slower version of what's to come ahead. Things kick into high gear next with the scene attack of -- a seriously fun, attitude-fueled - track complete with vocoder that presumably reveals the primary reason for indulging in the , booty-shaking side of things. For every party track, however, there are also relaxing numbers like the spacy and the introspective rock of One of the album's best tracks, the breezy, sparkling is reminiscent of a radio-friendly and absolutely perfect for a sunny day driving mixtape.
